  1. P2 4.3 Uses and dangers of static electricity If the voltage is high enough the air molecules will ionise and a spark discharge occurs. - Ionisation is the ability to remove electrons from atoms leaving a trail of positive ions.

  2. DISCHARGING UNSAFE STATIC Electrons are transferred from the pipe to the fuel by friction. A high voltage could cause an explosion so: * Fuel tank is earthed with a copper conductor * fuel tank and plane are connected

  3. A spark is thought to have caused the huge explosion in December 2005 at the Buncefield oil depot North of London
